Prognostic Value of Systemic Inflammatory Markers and Scoring Systems in Predicting Postoperative 30-Day Complications and Mortality in Colorectal Cancer Surgery: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Aim: Cancer-related systemic inflammation causes the increase of proinflammatory markers and acute phase proteins. Activation of systemic inflammatory response has been linked to poorer prognosis in colorectal cancer. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative systemic inflammatory markers and inflammation/nutrition scoring systems in predicting the postoperative early period (first 30 days) complications and mortality outcomes of patients who underwent curative surgery for colorectal cancer in our clinic.

Penetrating abdominal stab and gunshot injuries: 10-year experience of a secondary public hospital located in a suburban area with solo surgeons.

Objective: Trauma care systems are life-saving significant implementations of a country's healthcare systems. Trauma care requires well-established trauma settings and organizations with experienced trauma teams including experienced emergency medicine, surgery and anesthesiology staff. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of penetrating abdominal injuries treated by solo surgeons in a suburban area.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Recurrence and Survival Analysis of 49 Patients.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumor originating from the gastrointestinal tract and have a broad spectrum of clinicopathological features affecting disease management regarding the treatment modalities. A retrospective study of 49 patients who underwent surgery for gastrointestinal tumors between 2008 and 2016 was conducted. Clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical features of patients with and without recurrence were statistically analyzed.

Perioperative Short Term Prophylaxis against Deep Vein Thrombosis after Major Abdominal Cancer Surgery: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis given for short-term duration to the patients who underwent major abdominal surgery for colorectal and gastric cancer.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed in consecutive patients who underwent major abdominal surgery for colorectal and gastric cancer and received short-term pharmacological thromboprophylaxis during hospital stay were enrolled. Complete duplex ultrasonography of the lower limbs was performed for all patients to investigate both symptomatic and asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
